AL Only Keeper League Season 3

Postby Page2 » Tue Feb 08, 2011 8:04 pm

Hi Guys,

Remember for the first round/day(s) we don't have a clock don't skip anyone. We will start with the clock on Thursday Feb. 8th starting at 9:00 a.m EST and running until 11:00 p.m. EST each weekday until we are done. I will post and email the draft order on Wednesday Feb. 7th in the evening so you will know what times you will be picking. You can be skipped on Thursday and Friday be sure to check your times and email me or someone else in the league with a proxy pick if you can't draft during your times. Those of you who haven't sent me your email address please do so we can stay in touch and move smoothly. We will draft on the weekends but no clock will run and don't skip anyone on the weekends. Any questions be sure to ask emailing me is the best way to get in touch with me sportspage2_2000@yahoo.com

keyzick won the first pick in the draft and can pick anytime. Good Luck to all and thanks very much for joining. I think this will be the most challenging league going and hopefully the most fun to stay in touch with.

Just thought it would be a practical idea to cut and paste "the constitution" into this AL Keeper League ILC chat page - since the page on the main chat room will disappear into obscurity soon enough, while this page will keep getting refreshed and bumped to the top periodically!

Page 2 - maybe you should copy and paste this one more time, so that YOU are the one who can edit it in the future (with the 9 out of 12 votes needed for constutional changes) !

Page2 originally wrote:

Hi Guys,

Looking to start a new AL only keeper league. I think this will come very close to be the GM of a real team. How high do you draft Zack Greinke knowing you will only have him for two years, unload him in year two if you need help at the trade deadline? And other decisions that a GM has to look at.

12 team AL only Keeper League (Use the current set of cards).

1. 26 round draft you can draft your AL Stadium in any round.

2. Only players carded to an AL team can be drafted and kept.

3. Draft on the boards and use a 30 min. clock. Pick times will run from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. EST (times will be posted and you will know what times you will draft each day). This will take us about 12 days to draft (I have used this method for plenty of leagues in the past and it works great). We will not have a clock for drafting during the weekends although picks can be made just don’t skip anyone on the weekends. No Clock for the first round/day please be ready to draft during your time and remember to send a proxy to someone if you can’t. When the clock is on a player can be skipped. We will use a randomizer for the order of our first draft.
4. $200 mil. cap; all roster transactions will use the 10% Free Agent penalty. We will use the frenzy to pick up/adjust your roster after the draft.

5. Only one season for each card set.

6. No prospect draft.

7. The initial draft is serpentine. After the first draft they will be based on records with an NBA draft lottery for the first round.

8. 1) The first 3 draft positions of the draft (except for our initial draft) will be determined by weighted NBA type draft lottery of the eight teams with the worst records (i.e. non playoff teams). All other draft choices and all other rounds are chosen in reverse order of finish.
2) The lottery works like this, We will have a list of five states, WI, AZ, CT, NJ, and CA, in this order.
3) The annual spring free agent will be determined by the lottery numbers on the first day AFTER the previous season's Strat postseason ends that the lottery occurs in those states.
4) We will take the pick 3 of the first state (WI), using only the last two numbers and use the chart below to determine who receives the first choice. We'll use AZ to choose the second choice, and CT to choose the third. If any of the first 3 states are duplicates (say WI and AZ numbers both choose the team with the 8th best record, then we use the last two states (NJ and CA). If after 5 states, we still have not chose 3 choices, then we go in reverse order after the choices that have been chosen.

Record of Team-last two numbers of pick 3 #

worst team 01-25 (25%)
11th best team 26-45 (20%)
10th best team 46-63 (18%)
9th best team 64-78 (15%)
8th best team 79-88 (10%)
7th best team 89-94 (6%)
6th best team 95-98 (4%)
5th best team 99-00 (2%)


example: On the day of the draft the numbers are WI-1(94), AZ-7(08), CT-3(19), NJ-8(66), The first choice goes to the team with the 7th best record, because of WI 94, the second choice goes to the team with the worst record because of AZ - 08, the 3rd choice would also have gone to the worst team, but the same team can not have 2 draft choices, so we got to the tiebreaker state, NJ, and the 66 means the 3rd choice goes to the team with the 9th best record. the 5th state is not needed.
The 4th pick goes to the team with the second worst record, and from this point on we go in reverse order of W-L record among teams who did not draw a high choice.

9. Draft picks are tradeable. As well as your players the Commish has final say on all trades.

10. All ties between teams will be broken by the previous seasons head to head win/loss records. If this does not break the tie, then we will use run differential, record within the division if from the same division, record against playoff teams, and finally a randomizer. (Go back to head to head once a tie has been broken if more than 2 teams).

11. Cut 10 players each year/be able to only keep 15 players. If you somehow wind up short players through trades there will be a supplemental round to even things out.

12. Must keep 25 guys on your team at all times and not more than that (if you have injuries you will play short that many players, or pick up a player from the FA pool. Remember if you drop a player someone else might pick them from the FA pool so be careful on your drops/adds).
13. To sign up and be part of the league you must send me your email address that way we will be able to say in touch better. Mine is sportspage2_2000@yahoo.com

14. Use only AL Stadiums. Stadiums can be changed through trade or drafted, after a season has been played an owner may draft a new stadium. We will use a worst to first on the records with a waiver system of drafting stadiums after the first season. Players may trade stadiums with other players except while a regular season is in progress.

15. Use unleashed/additional players if TSN makes them available.

16. Divisional assignments will change each season. They will be based on records East 1,4,7, & 10 Central 2, 5, 8, & 11 West 3, 6, 9, & 12. This same seeding will be used to determine the divisions for the first season of play based on the draft order.

17. All teams must meet SOM roster requirements at all times. Except for the rule that you must carry 11 pitchers and 14 hitters (if you want 10 pitchers and 15 hitters after the draft that is okay, just stay within the max/min. limits and the 25 players). In the event of an unbalanced trade the owner of the team whose roster exceeds the 25 man limit must return to the limit before any games have been played (penalty would be having to sit your highest salary of an uninjured hitter for the next series after the penalty is discovered).

18. All rule changes must pass by a super majority – 9 owners or more.

19. When we have to get a replacement owner(s) they will come in with full voting rights as soon as I accept them into the league. If we have more than one owner drop a lottery/randomizer will be run to determine which replacement owner gets which team.

20. All other TSN/SOM rules apply.

By the way, I found this interesting web page that summarizes baseball transactions (trades and signings etc.). It shows the transactions on a week by week basis. You can scroll back to prior weeks by clicking near the top left of the page. I found this to be helpful in getting up to date on recent baseball transactions.

http://espn.go.com/mlb/transactions

Of course, this won't affect the actual 2009 cards or the actual 2010 cards (on Saturday this week!). But, just to illustrate my own thinking (for what it's worth), I picked Sabathia as my first round pick partly because I knew he had been locked up on a multi-year contract (he could still be traded of course). There are other websites out there on player contracts which I used, and I did a search on Sabathia to get the details on his contract, but I liked the one with the link as set out above. You probably have to use it with others.

I am already enjoying this immensley! Thanks page2!!

:)
